Support for Childnet’s Film Competition!

16 April 2013

We are delighted to have been awarded £3,000 funding from the Goldsmiths’ Company to support our Film Competition.

The Film Competition encourages young people aged 7-16 to create a short film to educate their peers about staying safe online. The project engages schools in using new technology for creative and positive uses and equips young people with the skills they need to become confident digital creators. In addition, through the process, the young people create valuable resources to educate their peers about staying safe online and develop their own understanding of what it means to be a good digital citizen. Find out more at www.childnet.com/film-competition.

Want to enter the competition?

There is still time to enter your short film! The deadline is the 21 June 2013 and you can find out more at www.childnet.com/film-competition.

All shortlisted finalists will then be invited to a private screening of their film in front of our judging panel at the BFI in Central London, where they will be awarded some fantastic prizes for their school/youth group!

Interested in helping us raise the rest of the money needed?

We are still seeking donations as well as prizes for winning schools. If you or your organisation would like to be involved, please contact Pippa Green at [email protected] or 0207 639 6967.
